The results of an electrodiagnostic test, the electro-oculogram, recorded under standardized conditions, were compared. Recordings were obtained from 70 normal subjects in three European countries and 28 subjects in an Asian country. All subjects were 18-34 years old. Equal numbers of male and female patients were tested in each of six laboratories. There were no significant differences between the results of the European laboratories. There were, however, significant differences between the results of the European and the Asian laboratories, and between the results from the male and female subjects in all laboratories. This suggests the need for considering the possibility of male/female as well as local variations in normal control values when telemedicine is applied on a global scale.
对在标准化条件下记录的电诊断测试——眼电图的结果进行了比较。记录来自三个欧洲国家的70名正常受试者以及一个亚洲国家的28名受试者。所有受试者年龄在18至34岁之间。在六个实验室中，每个实验室测试的男性和女性患者数量相等。欧洲各实验室的结果之间没有显著差异。然而，欧洲实验室和亚洲实验室的结果之间，以及所有实验室中男性和女性受试者的结果之间存在显著差异。这表明，在全球范围内应用远程医疗时，需要考虑正常对照值中男性/女性差异以及局部差异的可能性。
